Either way, the system is just fcked up for a lot of players. Some rarely get salvage while others get some every match. It certainly needs to be looked at because as it is now the % chance doesn't really matter; just because a coin has a 50% chance of landing on heads doesn't mean it'll land on heads half the time.

Around 25%? That's only FW.

The FW salvage system is much, much different from Public Matches.

For FW, 25-50% of all items used in that match are put onto the loot table. Of that table, the 32 players have a chance of salvaging some loot, though performance doesn't affect what you get. All of the items also aren't distributed evenly, so people usually get shafted. I think the most expensive thing I've ever salvaged is an Ion Cannon.

Uhm yeah I know, I even mentioned that it was talking about FW. I just mentioned it because it was the only reference to salvage drop rates I could find.

Magewarlord Titans of Phoenix 67	Posted - 2014.11.29 19:13:00 - [1] - Quote is there any data out there revealing the rates at which you salvage items for battle, particularly officer weapons? is there just a % chance of salvaging anything? Or are there other factors involved? I only got one officer salvage during the event after literally (no joke) not salvaging anything for almost the entire year. Then this morning (event over) I do 3 ambush in a row and got officer salvage all 3 games. Hoping something was up, I tried a couple more, but my streak was over at 3. So what's the numbers? Any threads or data on this?

I am particularly looking for the actual numbers in the game mechanics and how it is normally suppose to work. again, just a % chance? if so, what %? any other factors?

Well in that case, good luck getting anything from CCP. I don't think they've ever released anything on this matter :/ From what I know, there is a loot table either for the 32 players in a match or one table for each team. Officer weapons have a percent chance to appear on that table, after which you only have a chance to salvage it from that table. Apparently here aren't any outside factors, however, anecdotal evidence tends to show that people lower on the leader board tend to get officers. Hope that helps some!

Magewarlord Titans of Phoenix 67	Posted - 2014.12.04 16:29:00 - [12] - Quote there should be something they could ellaborate on the mechanics and share the figures. I had a good 10 month streak without any officers, non constantly playing but coming close to cap frequently. Then, 3 in a row. Made me wonder: well what are the figures on the odds? to them it's just trivial data they could throw at us. if people know if or what the % is, then they can't *** at CCP and can *** about bad luck if others get lucky a lot. share the salvage figures.
